Description:	Please note: I was unable to get RedHat Linux version 8.0 (2.4-18) to install. However, RH Linux version 9.0 installed just fine, provided that you MUST use an external montior during setup and press the function-f10 key a few times when the screen goes blank. External monitor is not necessary after setup. Unable to use built-in wirless LAN connection yet in Linux. Product has : 60 GB HD 512MB RAM 16.1" LCD screen DVD/CDR combo 3.0 GHz. intel processor I have not used any CardBus devices or 1394 devices yet (haven't needed them). The built-in wired ethernet port works fine. Also note that you will need to adjust your /etc/X11/XF86Config file by hand to get both the touchpad and and external USB mouse working.
Keywords:	Fujitsu Lifebook 5000 series 3.0 GHz. Red Hat 9.0

The ATI support on this doesn't work perfectly.
If you use (seemingly) any version of fglrx ATI driver to enable 3D support you get a blank screen when you log out of your Desktop environment (I used Gnome&KDE).

This happens on Ubuntu and Suse.
If you use the Default Radeon Drivers that come with X.org. The machine works as expected. (Without 3D of course.)

The multi-card reader doesn't work either. (Least I couldn't get it to work.)

I wrote up this with a bit more detail.

Its not comprehensive but if it'll help you at all it's there. :)
